Known for his love of sketching from nature, MORI Hakuho’s technical skill is on display in this piece. The contrast between the less intricately rendered foliage and the delicate, meticulous brushwork found on the butterflies and flowers creates a striking balance. This coupled with vivid colors results in a clear, crisp image.
